Donate your unwanted coats this Winter

Help those in need this Christmas

This November, why not do something wonderful for charity without having to open your wallet: donate your unwanted coats to the annual Winter Coat Campaign!

Since 2011 local Kensington resident Frances Manthos has been running ‘Calling London’, an entirely voluntary charity, that collects warm coats to distribute to London’s most vulnerable people, such as the homeless, the elderly, refugees and families with children. Nothing is sold, just given out.

Last year nearly 5000 coats were donated, and here’s where you can help — take a look through your wardrobes and consider giving away those coats, duffles, ski jackets and puffas that your family doesn’t need any longer. ‘Calling London’ asks that they be in good, clean condition, as they will be given straight out to its beneficiaries.
